This website, among others have articulated the major problems with the official explanation of 9/11 since the day after they happened.These attacks have directly led to an agenda of increased military spending, surveillance, at least two wars of aggression (Afghanistan and Iraq)\xa0and a period of curtailed civil liberties in the name of protection from\xa0radical Islamic terrorists.Amply documented, there are major problems with this narrative. The following humourous video encapsulates many of these anomalies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuC_4mGTs98\xa0(Video courtesy of\xa0James Corbett)A more detailed analysis is available through\xa0Global Research\u2019s 9/11 Reader.There has been a clear resistance to abandoning this core narrative. Take, for example, the refusal of Canadian Member of Parliament Paul Dewar to table a petition \xa0in the House of Commons\xa0calling for a Canadian\xa0parliamentary review\xa0of the omissions and inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission report and of\xa0available forensic evidence. Mr. Dewar says he doesn\u2019t agree with the petition. That is\xa0not considered an acceptable rationale for not tabling a petition to Parliament.

Her article,\xa0In Denial of Democracy: Social Psychological Implications for Public Discourse on State Crimes Against Democracy Post-9/11\xa0appeared in the February 2010 edition of American Behavioural Scientist. Her thesis was the basis of her outstanding presentation at the Toronto Hearings on 9/11. An excerpt of this presentation airs in the first half hour of this week\u2019s\xa0Global Research News Hour, courtesy of\xa0Press For Truth.Architect and high profile 9/11 speaker\xa0Richard Gage, AIA\xa0joins us in the second half hour. He talks with guest interviewer Jon Wilson about his tour across Canada, and his view about the prospects of 9/11 making a powerful political breakthrough in this country.
